Viewing Notes
Interesting approach to the material that was certainly fascinating to view all these actors delivery the original prose with conviction in modern day NYC. Of course, it’s also very goofy a lot of time which makes it a little difficult to accept or take seriously. But this is a neat experiment with great actors emoting. Would be neat to see the same cast with a contemporary screenplay based on the story.
